The child's face turned pale, what's going on?

Children's faces are generally red, which looks normal and cute. However, one child's face is pale. What's going on? A pale face is most likely because the child's body lacks a certain nutrient, so the complexion looks different. In addition to anemia, there may be other symptoms. Parents are best to take their children to the hospital for a trace element test to determine why the child's face is pale.

If the child looks pale, it is mainly iron deficiency anemia that should be considered. The blood routine check of the hemoglobin value needs to be timely. Mild anemia can be mainly supplemented with food, while moderate or above anemia requires blood tonic drugs, such as ferrous gluconate oral solution and vitamin C treatment. Eat more foods containing iron and protein, such as lean meat and pork liver, egg yolk, milk, fish, shrimp, shellfish, soybeans, and tofu; eat more vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamin C and promote iron absorption.

If the child's face is pale and anemia is ruled out, and there is no deficiency of trace elements, then the child is healthy. Guidance: I think other examinations are not necessary. Chinese medicine believes that pale complexion is mostly caused by weak Qi and blood. Just pay attention to adjusting the diet more often.

The most likely internal reason for a baby's pale face is insufficient blood-forming raw materials, that is, the baby's body lacks nutrients or trace elements. For example, there is a lack of nutrients or trace elements needed by the body, such as iron, folic acid, vitamin B12, and protein. At this time, parents can supplement blood-forming raw materials through medication or diet.

The pathogenic factor that causes a baby's pale face is hematopoietic dysfunction. Some babies have had hepatitis or taken chloramphenicol or sulfonamide drugs, which may cause certain disorders in the hematopoietic function of the bone marrow. Parents can take their babies to the hospital for examination and receive treatment and home care under the guidance of a doctor.

The baby's pale face may also be caused by the destruction of red blood cells. This situation mostly occurs due to trauma, when red blood cells or capillaries are damaged by external force and cause bleeding. Another is the destruction of red blood cells caused by diseases, such as leukemia.

The destruction of red blood cells leads to excessive blood loss. Due to certain reasons, a small amount of blood continuously flows out of the blood vessels. Once it exceeds the compensatory hematopoietic capacity of the bone marrow, it can cause hemorrhagic anemia, making the baby's face pale.
